Perl meta-programming API

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The meta package provides an API for metaprogramming; that is, allowing code to inspect or manipulate parts of its own program structure. Parts of the perl interpreter itself can be accessed by means of "meta"-objects provided by this package. Methods on these objects allow inspection of details, as well as creating new items or removing existing ones.
